Drop

Drop is a booklet designed to inspire and educate readers on the issue of clean water facing so many people around the world. Rather than being a promotional booklet for one water organization, its purpose is to motivate readers to do anything and everything they can to help provide clean water. It points readers to several organizations and provides challenges for readers to complete which help to raise awareness and funds for the water crisis. The interactive stickers towards the back of the booklet each have a different challenge on them, which when completed and placed in the correct order on the following page, create the image of a droplet.

Stick It

Stick It is an outdoor climbing app that provides users with information about off-the-charts outdoor climbing places. Users can view routes on a map based on their current location, add routes they’ve created to the route database, and contribute a rating and level after climbing routes. Stick It helps climbers discover outdoor climbing places created by their fellow climbers that aren't featured on websites. With the GPS and map, users can explore unknown climbing places and share their discoveries and routes with other climbers.

Longfellows

Longfellows is an arts and stationary shop in Massachusetts. It is named in homage to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, poet, writer and educator. Longfellows sells high-end writing and calligraphy tools as well as handmade stationary.

This is the branding project I completed for Longfellows. Their new identity reflects the beauty of hand skills, yet remains professional and high-end.

Seeds

Seeds is a hypothetical earth inspired art festival conceptualized and designed by me and a partner. The festival takes place in a different big city each year, although this year's website is specifically for the Seattle festival. Seeds features local, national and international artists, music, performers, art walks, environmental exhibits, workshops and a art area for kids.

The website encompasses the organic and creative vibe of the festival while allowing users to view upcoming activities, pre-order tickets and see the three day schedule. Due to its responsive layout, users can browse the site on their iPad or iPhone

To visit the site, please use the following URL:

Farm to Table Website

This website is designed for the hypothetical client Farm to Table, a restaurant in Vail, Colorado. Users can view the mission statement, read about the history of the restaurant, view the special of the week, make reservations and read about the chef and dining atmosphere. The website aesthetically and verbally communicates the organic, locally-grown, carefully crafted and richly flavorful focus of the restaurant.

Magazine Spread

This is a collection of spreads on the topic of the Turkey Vulture for the hypothetical scientific magazine, Hypothesis. I completed three variations catered to different audience profiles: a professor, a student doing research and a middle-aged mom looking to further her knowledge.

This opening spread and continuation spread were the final chosen spreads for the magazine. The two spreads that follow are catered towards the student and the mom, respectively.

Flight Series

I have always been fascinated by birds. In this project, I captured the freedom of flight in a whimsical and storybook-like way. This series is a three part illustration of Leonardo DaVinci's quote that reads, "For once you have tasted flight you walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will return”. Each compositions is a combination of digital drawings, texture scans, images and typography.
